Flexpansion Keyboard

All Pro features are now unlocked!

BUT:

*** Nov 2023 update: Save & Restore Personal Dictionary ***

Currently disabled, as Android has changed access to file storage. We are looking urgently into a fix .

Flexpansion's advanced word prediction dramatically increases typing speed in ALL apps. Use 'txt msg spk' abbreviations, and it automatically expands into full, correctly-spelled text.

Flexpansion provides everything you'd expect from a predictive text system, including fully-adaptive word completion, next word prediction, editable user dictionary and autocorrect. But also, our unique "Abbreviation expansion" mode understands all common styles. For example:

* wd → would

* xprc → experience

* tfon → telephone

* 2mrw → tomorrow

No need to memorize or pre-define anything. Our Flexible Text Expansion engine deals with whatever you type and learns rapidly from use.

NEW - choose empty base language, then learn from text, to type in ONLY your own words. Add Shakespeare, technical writing, or another language.

Flexpansion …

* … has an advanced predictive text engine which learns your personal style and continuously improves.

* … is compatible with phones, tablets, and hardware keyboards.

* … is easily personalized by adding your own abbreviations, words and even whole phrases. For instance set 'qq' (or anything you like) to insert your signature, phone number, or another frequently-typed block.

* … is derived from the founder's PhD research at Edinburgh University.

* … as well as helping you type faster, may even improve your spelling!

A system message on installation states this app could collect personal data. Rest assured your data is only stored on your device, and never leaves (you can back up/transfer it yourself). We never record typing in password boxes. We are a responsible company, with academic and government support, which you can verify by searching for "Flexpansion Edinburgh University".

After activating Flexpansion, to switch between it and other input methods, long-press any text box (Android 2), or swipe down the status bar (Android 3+), then choose "Select Input Method".

Known issues, which we are working on:

* Still learning some junk , e.g. typos & too many capitals.

* Some apps block prediction, and won't let us over-ride. Please contact us AND them!

* Miss some keystrokes on some devices.

* We know the visual designs need updating! We've focused on functionality.
